Maxon's POV

I don't know how long I sat there, but it was a while. I hurt her hard. My America doesn't deserve to be told a lie. We both have been through a lot; just in totally different ways.

What just happened? How could I just scream at her like that? All of these questions are haunting me right now. I get up and walk to America's room through the connecting hallway. She's lying in her partially broken bed so I make sure to be quiet. I don't know why I'm here, but there are so many things I want to say. I sit down next to her bed on the floor. I stare at her beautiful red hair.

I put my head down and just let myself be sad.

"Why did I lie to you," I whisper with my cracking voice.

She stirred and suddenly sat up. She rubbed her eyes and then looked down at me. They were filled with hurt and I could tell she had been crying.

"Get out," she said angrily.

"America, please… just please let me explain."

Her face softened. I realized that her temper wasn't as high as before in the year.

"Okay," she whispered.

"I'm a jerk and I lied. Of course we both have been through so much. If you haven't been through everything you have then I wouldn't of seen how people were living. Your family isn't perfect; I should know that. I just…. I just don't know what to do. I'm so confused, and I don't know if my mother is alive or dead, and my father is no help, and I-"

I never felt so weak and helpless. I have to be strong, what is this. I'm sitting here crying.

Yes you are A voice inside me said

America crawled out of bed and got on the floor right in front of me. She gathered me in a hug.

"You don't deserve this, Maxon. We can't change it though. You have to be strong for her. You are the bravest man I know. You took whippings for me and you fought for me. I love you so much."

"I love you too," I said kissing her on the lips. She was so gentle and her lips were soft. Her skin was as well and I couldn't help, but admire her perfection. We got up and in bed. I knew we both didn't want to talk right now. She was probably still a bit mad, and I was still sad.

I held her tightly afraid to lose her. We balanced each other out. Over these last months, America has lessened her temper and is trying hard to learn everything to be Queen. I have started to be take more responsibility and stand up to my father. She brought the fun into my serious life and I was just there for her. I heard in a book written a long time ago that there are four words stronger than "I love you."

I'm here for you

I kiss her head and say," I'm here for you, Mere."

America's POV

"I'm here for you too, Maxon." I reply.

As we say those words we both slip into sleep. I can't believe what the rebels have done. I can't let them do this. It's time for the plan.

….

We walk out the room together hand in hand. Suddenly we see a group of guards running to us.

"Your majesties, we found the Queen." A guard said hurriedly.

"I'm afraid we don't if she'll live." Another said sadly.

Immediately they motioned for us to come with them while a few went to get King Clarkson.

We ran downstairs until we came to stop at an empty corner.

"Why are we here," Maxon asked worriedly.

"We found a tunnel the rebels use and Queen Amberly's body was in it," one of them said.

Maxon was shaking and I faced him and took his other hand.

"We can't waste time," I say quietly.

He took a deep breath and put on his Prince face, "Let's go."

They did a combination of knocks on the wall until a door opened and sure enough there was a tunnel. Sure enough in front of us was sweet Queen Amberly lying on the floor.

Maxon immediately fell down onto his knees and gathered his mother in his arms. She looked like she had been stabbed many times and she had so many scars all around.

I dropped to the floor as well with tears in my eyes.

"Somebody get the stretcher," I say.

The King then walks in, but he doesn't see the body yet.

"Why are you two on the floor," he asks confused.

Then he comes closer and sees his wife.

"Amberly," he croaks out weakly.

We stand up as the guards pick her up. She's still breathing a tiny bit so there's hope she'll live. Maxon holds me close and closes his eyes. I notice a weak figure in the corner that looks miserable. It was the King. I gently nudge Maxon to his father, but he refuse to move. I carefully get out of his hold and make my way over to him.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"She'll never forgive me," he said miserably.

"I think she already has."

He looks at me with a confused expression.

"Can I talk to him?" He asks questioningly.

"I don't know," I admitted.

He starts walking over to Maxon who is facing away from us.

He put his hand on Maxon's shoulder and says, "I'm sorry."

Maxon pushes his arm away and looks into his eyes. " I will never forget, and I may never forgive. The thing is I know you and you are cruel and selfish, but mother loved you. I don't care what you do to me, but you hurt her and you hurt America. You still want to hurt America, don't you? You're not sorry; you're a liar. Soon you'll forget about mom. You don't actually care about her. She deserved someone better."

Before the King could respond the guards informed us to come to the infirmary. We walked up and to the room.

We were met by a doctor. She curtsied to all of us and then said, "I'm sorry."

"What?" The King asked.

"She won't be here for much longer. You have to say your final goodbyes. I'm sorry, your majesties."

"Could you give us a moment alone," Maxon asked.

"Of course."

We all sat down around the Queen.

"Mother," Maxon croaked out while holding one of her hands.

She stirred the tiniest bit.

"Mom please don't leave me." She opened her eyes slightly and soon they became slightly bigger.

"Maxon," she said placing her other hand on Maxon's cheek.

"I didn't think I'd get to see your face one last time." She gathered hi in a hug while King Clarkson sat there awkwardly.

When Queen looked at him she smiled. "Would you two give us a moment alone?"

Maxon and I nodded our heads and walked out the room.

"What is she going to do," he asks nervously.

"Your mother is getting her last wish, and your father is confirming her forgiveness."

Maxon nodded and looked down.

I laid my head on his chest and said, "It'll all be okay. We'll find a way."

King Clarkson POV (For only a minute):

I leaned down and kissed my beautiful, dying wife.

I hadn't actually kissed her in years. I was old for heaven's sake.

It felt awkward for a second, but then I remembered the feeling. I remembered being young. I remember Amberly being pregnant. I remember carrying our first child. I remember the miscarriages. I remembered everything she remembered. For that tiny moment, I remembered the good and not the bad.

"I love you," I say to her. It has been years and years since I had said those words. It felt so good.

She pulled me into a hug. "I love you too, Clarkson."

America's POV:

"I never thought I could say goodbye verbally, so I wrote the note." Amberly was briefly explained a few things.

She was in her room while the ceiling was falling, but rebels came in there. The thing was that a few days ago they left a note that said:

We're coming….

For you

She then wrote the note to us i cases it all happened. King Clarkson was in her room and found the note and read it. There were so many details on what exactly happened and how she got to the tunnels, but we only had a few minutes left until she would pass away.

Her muscles tightened as a wave of pain coursed her body.

"America, you will be a wonderful Queen. I know you will help change this country and I'm sorry I can't be there for you, darling. I always knew you were the one. You are like a daughter to me and I love you as much as a mother would. I believe in you and before I leave I want you to know that."

I gave her a light hug careful not to hurt her.

"Maxon, I love you and I always have and I always will. You will be a great King and with America by your side you both will do amazing things to this country. Believe in yourself and know that you are always in my heart. I wish I knew earlier what had been happening to you. You are my brave, loving, caring boy. I love you," She said kissing his forehead.

Last she said something to Clarkson. A personal message saying he was forgiven. She then started shaking and we called the nurse in.

"She's dying," she said.

Maxon and I held her hands while King Clarkson held her cheek. The King watched his love slowly slipping away. Maxon watched his mother leave him. We watched as we lost the brightness in this castle. We watched as we lost our benevolent, selfless Queen.

I just killed a character….. oopsies? Well so for those of you wondering, the next chapter is the Queen's perspective. It's not clear what happened so now you will find out. I'm sad the Queen is leaving, but the story will become happier. As for the King, he's not suddenly depressed and going to be nice. He is extremely sad and will be nicer, but he was born as…. Him. Anyways love you all bunches… please don't kill me in the reviews….. add the story to favorites….. oh and follow it as well!

PS. Thumbs up for that one last kiss.
